It's been a good several days for cake (and bakers) around here.

This evening, Mayor Michael B. Coleman and City Council President Andrew J. Ginther
handed out slices of a tiered red, white and blue cake that
Mozart's Bakery brought to the City
Council meeting to celebrate the bicentennial. Everybody got some, including me. I didn't ask
Mozart's owner Anand Saha what my slice would have cost, but I'm pretty sure it's under the
Dispatch's ethics policy limit, which is a cup of coffee.

The Dispatch commissioned a cake for the cover of the paper's special bicentennial
section. You can see a video of
Jan Kish of La Petite Fleur
bakery making it
here.
Then, since that cake was really was icing on styrofoam, the editors brought in another cake for
general consumption in the newsroom last week.
